About Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
At Holy Cross, our Catholic faith is central to all that we do. Our curriculum, our moral values and our relationships stem from gospel values so that our children are reminded of God's loving presence in all that we do. We welcome all staff and students from all religions and denominations.
Our School serves the parishes of Holy Rood, St. Peter’s, West Swindon, St. Joseph’s, Wroughton and Royal Wootton Basset.
We are extremely proud to be a Catholic school in which both children and adults are supported and encouraged to develop their own faith and spirituality.
We pride ourselves on being a progressive and vibrant learning community which highly values it’s cultural diversity. Students at Holy Cross are taught by an experienced and dedicated team of individuals with an aspiration of ensuring that learning is fun, and teaching is creative.
Children are taught in a happy and well-disciplined environment and are inspired to see learning as a life long experience.
We want the children to “work hard and to be happy”.

Commitment to safeguarding
Holy Cross wants to work with children, parents/carers and the community to ensure the safety of children at all times. We know that it can be difficult to speak to somebody when things are not going well at home, or there are concerns, but please do be assured that we are here to help and support in any way without judgement.
Safeguarding is the responsibility of all and therefore all staff know the policies and procedures related to safeguarding. Our prime concern is always the well-being of our pupils and if we act, it is to protect the individual.
